Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz espresso freshly brewed
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 0.125 tsp ground nutmeg

Equipment

  • 1 1-quart saucepan

Method
 

  1. Divide the freshly brewed espresso between two mugs.
  2. Heat the eggnog and milk in a 1-quart saucepan over medium-low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until steaming but not boiling; remove from the heat.
  3. Whisk briskly for about 30 seconds to create foam.
  4. Pour the hot eggnog mixture into the mugs, spooning foam over the top.
  5. Sprinkle with ground nutmeg.

Notes

For the best foam, whisk the hot mixture briskly just before pouring. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days; freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free variation, use dairy-free eggnog and a suitable plant-based milk.
